Hello Kitty Balloon Dreams

Girls of all ages are in love with Hello Kitty, so a birthday party featuring the beloved feline is guaranteed to delight. Our scheme draws inspiration from the Hello Kitty Balloon Dreams theme and integrates food as aspects of the decor—a simple way to make a bold statement! We softened the effect with cloudy white, but you can choose virtually any color to mix things up.

The dining table doubles as a buffet with our photogenic, three-step party menu presented on pretty platters to add height and texture. Colorful balloons filled with helium and trailing gauzy ribbon tied to balloon weights make a beautiful DIY backdrop. With so many Hello Kitty party supplies available, parents will delight at how easy this look is to pull together.

Menus and Recipes

CAKE + ICE CREAM + DRINK

If your Hello Kitty party doesn’t fall during the lunch hour, a straightforward dessert-and-drink menu is all you need to serve. Update this simple option with a sweet presentation that’s pretty in pink.

We took a plain white layer cake from the bakery and dressed it up in Hello Kitty style.

If the celebration falls during lunch – or you just feel like expanding the menu – a meal item and side is all you need to add. We wrapped crustless sandwiches with pink tissue paper and tied them with pink ribbon before arranging on a cake stand. Strawberry yogurt was spooned into clear cups before getting topped with granola and dotted with mini marshmallows.

+ TREATS

If you’re inclined to expand the menu even further, consider adding one or more of these sweet treats:

Activities

Favor-Box Trimming

Guests will love “shopping” for their keepsakes at a favor buffet with boxes they personalized before the big spree. Create a crafting station by draping a decorative paper tablecloth over an available table and setting out art supplies in advance. Have guests decorate some of the polka dots (one for every year of the birthday girl’s age) on their favor boxes by drawing patterns, adding Hello Kitty stickers, and/or sprinkling glitter over glue dots and tapping gently to remove the excess.

Pin the Bow on Hello Kitty

Add a pretty blindfold fashioned from a scarf to this boxed-game activity for a personalized touch with minimum fuss. Guests take turns trying to attach Hello Kitty’s bow as close to the designated space as possible, and the person to come the closest wins!

Favors

Favor Shop

We created a pretty favor buffet by taking the contents of Hello Kitty Balloon Dreams favor boxes and arranging them by category on borrowed cake pedestals. Simple signage you can print and personalize adds an elegant touch of direction, and the empty favor boxes guests decorated at the crafting station can be used as vessels.
